UPDATE: As of February 4, 2025, registration for Sanford 101 is full.
Registration has opened for the 2025 session of Sanford 101, a free 13-week program that gives residents a behind-the-scenes look at municipal government.
First conceived in 2014, Sanford 101’s mission is to educate Sanford residents about how their municipal government functions. At the end of the program, participants should have a greater understanding of how and why municipal decisions are made – and become more engaged in that process.
Dates: The 2025 session will run on Tuesday mornings from February 18 through May 13. Each week will feature a different topic, including TriRiver Water, current and long-range planning, and public safety. Some standout sessions include trips to the Raleigh Exec Jetport and Sanford Municipal Golf Course.
“We want our residents to understand and be engaged in the decision-making process,” explains Mayor Rebecca Wyhof Salmon. “Those who participate in Sanford 101 serve as creative and thoughtful ambassadors for local government and advocates for their communities.”
Participants will spend time with head staff and have the opportunity to ask their most pressing questions. There will also be a special discussion with and recognition by Sanford City Council.
Enrollment is limited to 12 participants to ensure everyone has a rich, unique experience. Registration will end on February 11, 2025, or when spaces are full.
